Day One What significant information did I learn about these interviews?
From these intervies came new information from the past lives of many people during the Great Depression, as well as the war. The jobs had been worked by many of the people at a young age, meaning that sometimes at the very age of ten they would start out their jobs, some in mills, others a bit more dangerous. So who knew the meaning of death, who went out into their work force everyday unaware if they would return that night. Though when reading many of the interviews, I came to realize that they talked of unization. Many people during this time grew up with the seperation of color. It was always the black verse the white, the confederates verse the unions, an all out battle, that many of the intervies played a part in. Many of the women interviewed, but not all, weren't all that equiped in the worked force. Many stayed home doing the cleaning, the laundry, all the things mothers do for their children. Aside from these women, the ones that did work in the economic world, weren't given nearly as much credit as the men, which created a small problem, but none of the women but themselves up for asking questions. - By Danielle M.
What Significant information did i learn about these interviews? Reading these interviews I learned a lot about jobs, women and unionization. The jobs during the Great Depression got very dangerous. For example, iron workers got seriously injured all the time. One man got crushed between a crane and broke his collar bone and his ribs. I seemed as though that the jobs were taken very seriously back then, so much so that children even worked when they were as young as ten years old. Most of the jobs were dangerous so many kids went to work, and never came home. In the interviews, there was a lot of talk about women. It seemed as though a lot of women stayed home and helped with the house and children, but not all women did that, some did a mans job when they couldn't. Elizabeth E. Miller once had to go out and fetch a hog all by herself. She cut it up and loaded it piecemeal into the sled and got it back to the house and froze it. Many of the interviews talked about unization. I learned back then it was all about the seperation of color, black versus white, which many interviews mentioned. -By Dana D.
Combined Paragraph
When reading over both of our paragraphs, we realized that one of the main topics we both focused on was the dangers of working in certain jobs. We both talked about how the iron workers went out each day, unaware of consiquences, the only thing on their mind was getting back home that night. A lot of the people we also realised, went out for the mere sake of getting food on their families tables. Together we saw that women, even though some stayed at home with the children, went out and worked jobs men would usually have to overcome. We saw that men got a lot of the credit, and women recieved next to nothing, when put next to a man in the spotlight. But aside from that we saw a lot of white vs. black was what each interview linked back to.
